Wine Enthusiast 90 points - Initial nosing passes reveal a zesty and mildly spicy aroma that's focused on the cereal grain; the bouquet registers on the leaner, drier side of neutral grain spirits and as such is in direct opposition to other creamier, sweeter Dutch vodkas. Palate entry is moderately sweet, almost smoky; at midpalate, a flash of black licorice tempts the taste buds, then recedes, allowing the sweet, nearly smoky/pipe tobacco leaf taste to dominate..November/2003

Ultimate Beverage Challenge 91 points - Bold and bright on the nose with notes of ripe melon, sea spray, toasted coconut, and citrus. Lean and mineral with a smooth texture; vanilla and honeydew melon come to mind on the palate. Invigorating and saline on the finish. - 2018 Ultimate Spirits Challenge.April/2018
